There was a previous mass shooting in Killeen, Tx, where Ft. Hood is located

On October 16, 1991, George Jo Hennard drove his 1987 Ford Ranger pickup truck through the front window of a Luby's Cafeteria in Killeen, Texas. He took out his Glock, and opened fire. 24 dead and 20 injured. Together with the Ft. Hood shootings, that's over 80 killed in Killeen from mass shootings.

The RW still uses the Luby's shootings as a reason to justify concealed carry laws. They said if everyone in the Luby's had a gun it would have never happened.

And I wish some RW nut could explain to me how since the Luby's shooting was also in Killeen, how it was connected to Islamofascism (that is, in their twisted view of the world).

1. When you hold guns and ammo to be of the highest value, blame will be fashioned to fit.
And an exotic religion is a slam dunk excuse.
